I'm in the middle of this right now. I got a bunch of messages from AirBnb in Chinese so I logged into my account (I'm not a frequent user and I only use Airbnb for occasional traveling) and found a message from a gentleman who apparently has booked with me... I don't own any property, I'm not a host! Tried messaging the person, no response. Then I look and someone has done a payout of over $2,000 and there is a checking account NOT MINE linked to my account. I have no idea how this happened. I sent a message to Airbnb, changed my password. I checked my login history and there are logins from China and then from a phone in AR and the MD where the property I supposedly own is. Phone support told me they are opening a case.
Someone is hacking into accounts to scam people. I feel bad for the person who thought they were going to have a place to stay.
